A Level 2 charger turns overnight into a full battery. Getting one installed is usually a half-day job — and the price has less to do with the charger than with your garage.
What decides the price
Distance from the panel to where you park — every foot of wire costs
Whether your panel has two free slots and spare capacity
Drywall run inside, or conduit outside
Charger amperage: 32A, 40A or 48A changes the wire size
EV CHARGER INSTALLATION
$650 – $1,900
A short run near the panel is the low end. Long runs, detached garages or a load-sharing device push it up.
Do you need a panel upgrade?
Usually not. A load calculation on your panel tells us for certain. When capacity is tight, a load-management device that shares power intelligently often costs a few hundred dollars instead of a few thousand for a service upgrade.

“Installed my EV charger efficiently and explained the work clearly.”
FROM THE TRUCK
Buying the charger yourself is fine — we install any listed unit. Just send us the model before the visit so we bring the right breaker.
Quick answers
Hardwired or plug-in charger?+
Hardwired is tidier and slightly more efficient. A NEMA 14-50 outlet is more flexible if you change cars.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger?+
Yes. It is a quick permit and a quick inspection, and we file it for you.
